On July 17, 2009, Tax Analysts reported that the IRS plans to remove from the Internal Revenue Manual "controversial language that told revenue agents how to handle examinations of tax-exempt organizations suspected of being 'subversive.'" The IRM provision apparently stems from a Communist era law enacted in 1950. Although the so-called "Security Act of 1950" was repealed in 1993, the portion of the IRM concerning "subversive" organizations has remained until now.
